Excerpt from Fagots From the Camp FireFagots from the Camp Fire is exceptional in its style and scope. Its graphic delineation of the coarsest phases of every-day life, its portrayal of most thrilling incidents within the experience of soldiers and people of the South, how they loved and hated, starved and died, and the tender pathos which marks many pages, although told in the rude language of the uneducated, yet bear that wondrous touch of nature which makes the whole world kin.While leaders of opposing armies may not acquiesce in all theories propounded in Fagots from the Camp Fire, the common people, and especially soldiers who participated in these campaigns, will agree that these extraordinary narratives are as nearly literally true as it is possible to make them, after the lapse of fifteen years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
